This is a tribute to my favorite animal in the wholw world! It's called a Pine Marten. They live in the forest, they are omnivorous. Pine martens are, on average, about the size of a house cat. Their relatives belong to the ferret family, but in my opinion, they are much cuter! They are an endangered species for a few reasons. Pine Marten's reproduction rate is the same as humans. 9 months, and with such a slow birth rate, the population is suffering. That, and Pine Martens have been poached for their soft fur, it has become so hard on the species that a special licence must be obtained in order to hunt them, or keep them as pets.
This is my favorite picture.
Doesn't it look so cool?
It's been my dream for quite some time now, to first, own a pine marten as a pet, and, to someday build a sanctuary where I can raise them, and set them free. I have a great love for these animals. One day, I'll get some, male and female, so that I can start my dream. And I know It'll be amazingly hard, but It's worth it if it means I can protect, and become more accquanted with, the best animal in the world.
